EXORCISTS THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DIAGNOSE THAT A PERSON'S SUFFERING IS DOWN TO DEMONS THAT NEED CASTING OUT BY RITUALS

The exorcists in Christianity say that when faced with somebody who says they have demons and who are acting like its true, it is best to assume natural causes such as mental illness or even attention seeking. Cautioning that a mentally ill attention seeker may have a demon as well, the protocol is to find if nature cannot explain any of it and then to look for demons as a possible cause. This is admitting that demons have miracle powers! They are virtually gods if they can do magic like that. This fits in with Jesus' warning that the demons can do mighty miracles that would fool the very saints.

 

A crafty demon will act magically or miraculously instead of manipulating nature so that nature can explain but IS NOT THE RIGHT EXPLANATION. Looking for blatant miracles only encourages demons to hide themselves. Unless exorcisms don't really work....

 

Demons don't hide themselves - at least in some cases. Or are the exorcists fooling us and lying that there is a demon there? The demons are not afraid of the exorcists or Jesus or anything if they possess openly. The New Testament has demons provoking Jesus who kicked them out of the victims.

 

Religionists all admit that assuming demons are at work too readily is going to harm the person and is immoral. It's bad for the exorcist too. But that is unavoidable when you see that a demon can discreetly use nature as an instrument. In that light, it could be finding a way to damage or direct a person's brain chemistry so that it looks like it is just a normal imbalance. The claim then that exorcists are really concerned for the victim does not hold water.
